RS232 click

Overview

RS232 click provides an interface between the TTL/CMOS logic levels commonly used on microcontrollers and the RS-232 bus. RS-232 is a rather old communication protocol that has survived thanks to its robustness and implementation on many personal computer motherboards. It can still be found on various pieces of DTE (data terminal equipment) and DCE (data communication equipment) equipment. This Click board™ allows standard type MCUs to communicate through the RS-232 interface via the standard UART bus pins: RX and TX.

Details

RS232 Click is a simple solution for adding RS232 connectivity to your design. RS232 is a serial communications standard mostly used for industrial machines, networking equipment and scientific instruments, as well as for computer peripherals. The board features a standard RS232 DB9 port and a MAX3232 IC, along with a mikroBUS™ host socket, three jumpers and a power indicator LED. RS232 click communicates with the target board through mikroBUS™ RX (RXD), TX (TXD), CS (RTS), and INT (CTS) lines. RS232 click is designed to use either a 3.3V or 5V power supply. This device can achieve communication speed up to 232 kbps (EIA/TIA-232).
